Boden Allen who is two years old must have had an angel watching over him when he wandered off of his parents' home in Seligman Arizona on Monday. This will sound like a story that comes from The Twilight Zone since Boden had walked around seven miles and was reported missing by the parents of the young boy to the authorities who went looking for Boden who went missing for sixteen hours before a rancher named Scotty Dunton found a boy wandering into his property on Tuesday morning. A dog named Buford found saw Boden on the property of Scotty and he protected Boden from harm until the authorities came to rescue Boden who is lucky to have survived since Boden could have kidnapped by a stranger. Boden admitted that he simply followed a powerline that was in the property of his parents home. Link is ky3.com/2025/04/16/dog...

The police officer said that Boden was lucky not to be harmed by an animal or stranger.

I have heard of dogs protecting lost children before. 7 miles is a heckuva long way for a 2 year old to walk

My late mom said that one my late dogs was known for watching children who were by themselves.

That was an amazing save. I read about it online. Now I want a Great Pyrenees dog. I fell in love with one last summer. They are great dogs!

So am I since a two year old child walking by himself in an open field in Arizona could have been harmed.

And now I would like to know how he got that far or away from home in the first place. Where were the parents looking?

That is a good question where were the parents of the boy when he walked away from home.

Kids have to be carefully watched at all times, and it was lucky that this child was found before any foul play came about.

You are right since the police officer said that Boden was lucky that he was not harmed.
